***Have you been to Heart & Felt yet? Will you support my kids and their effort?***
Week two of Project Run & Play is here! It is Boy Week and I made "The Peddler". The outfit is completely inspired by Caps for Sale
. Do you know that book? It is a favorite around here. I highly recommend it if you haven't read it.
I made these gray wool pants with a soft ribbed waistband, fly, front pockets, back flap pockets, pieced knees and ribbed ankle bands (perfect for growing boys!). 
The sweater is made from an adult sweater. I loved the stripe pattern and it is hard to find good sweater material. The burnt orange chevrons were sewn onto the sleeve to create a more modern, boy feel.
The knees are peiced. I rotated the pattern so they would stand out a bit and double topstitched just like the pockets and inseams.
And the caps. OH THE CAPS! Yes, I made them all. I used the Little Cap pattern. They are in the traditional colors of the book. I added appliqués to most of them for added appeal. There are nine in total. NINE. What was I thinking? Imagine getting a three year old to sit still enough to keep them stacked upright.
I happen to love the rolled ribbed cuff. This style would be especially great for quick growers and early walkers.
So what do you think?? Go on over and VOTE!
